A high clearance self-propelled sprayer was designed, and a 3D model of sprayer frame was built with CATIA. Its finite element model was built by using Hypermesh, and it was imported to ABAQUS for finite element analysis. The analysis researched the stress and deformation of frame under four typical conditions of constant-velocity, torsion, emergency braking and emergency turning. The weak region of strength in the variable track mechanism was found, and a size optimization research was carried to the square pipe of the variable track mechanism. The result showed that the maximum stress of frame after optimization decreased obviously, and the distribution of stress became much more reasonable. The optimization ensured the reliability of the frame design.
